Well, there no doubt we’re moving in a couple of days. There are boxes everywhere and many more left to be packed. My mother and sister have been very helpful over the past week, and we’re especially grateful that Mom flew back up from Texas to help with this move. Last time [...]

This morning, since church was canceled, we went to the home of some RBC friends to enjoy some sledding. It was a PERFECT day for it. Not too cold… nice and sunny…

Jack had a good time for a while, especially riding down the hill with our friend Stephanie.

I even went down once- here [...]

We’re looking at some listings from a realtor of homes for lease in the north Dallas area, and as we googled the addresses to get a clear picture of where they are on the map, some of them have street level views in Google maps. We can see exactly what the neighborhoods look like [...]

About two weeks ago, Mark heard of an open position in his company at their location in Dallas, TX that was similar to what he is doing now. As he has wanted to move to Texas ever since we took our first trip there soon after we got married, cost of living is better, [...]

I learned two things coming home from Texas Tuesday:
1. Always pack your carry ons as if you’re going to get stuck in transit. We got stuck in Memphis for 6 hours, and were contemplating the possibility that we might have to spend the night there. Fortunately I had packed plenty of diapers, [...]

After several months of complete lethargy and lack of motivation, I have finally had a productive day. I wrote 3 blog posts (counting this one), cleaned and organized Jack’s room and even took a walk. Never mind the fact that my house is a complete wreck and I haven’t had an answer for [...]

I’ve spent far too much time playing this game today, but I can definitely say my general geography knowledge is improving.  I’m still making stabs in the dark when they ask about a capital in Africa, though.  Go ahead - take the Traveler’s IQ Challenge.  Tell me how you do.

We had to say goodbye to a very sweet kitty on Monday. Mouse’s kidneys failed him for some reason- no way to know why. He was the most loving little kitty, and we’ll miss him. Here’s one of my favorite pictures of him from when he was a kitten. He’d [...]

We’re hitting mid-October here, just about time for the Christmas decorations to start going up in the stores. If you’re interested in possibly sending some personalized Christmas cards out this year, you need to check out CardMyChristmas. It’s a new site, part-owned by a new friend of mine, Elizabeth, and she does beautiful [...]

Totally pathetic….

After over a week of hauling boxes and clothes and junk we almost have everything over here at the new place. Some pictures are hung, and lots of stuff has been thrown out or given to Kidney Foundation. It’s been nice to de-junk a little bit. I figure if we’ve been hauling [...]

Finally, after 2 years of relying on the kindness of my wonderful parents we are moving into an apartment. Mark has a full time job, and we are grateful to have found an affordable place that is very nice, and only a couple of miles from the house. It even has a pond in [...]

Check it out - I’ve been interviewed on a website called SheUnlimited. Try not to laugh.

This video is incredible. A young autistic man from the UK flies over Rome one time in a helicopter and then spends 3 days reproducing what he saw with amazing accuracy.

Thanks to Chase Jarvis for pointing me to this one. If you have some time, browse around on Chase’s blog. He’s a [...]
